The Golan Heights, whose 1981 annexation by Israel remains unrecognized by the world, is widely considered the most gorgeous part of the country. Rising from the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee to Mount Hermon, it is about the size of Los Angeles but has only 40,000 residents—half Israeli settlers, half Druze Muslims who, with very few exceptions, remain loyal to Syria. In the past, the Golan was considered mainly a strategic military asset—the high ground, the “eyes of the country” watching Syria. Secondly, the Golan was valued for its water sources, which have vast importance in the Middle East.

The Golan Heights - Israel-Syria peace talks The Golan Heights were under military administration between 1967 and 1981. In that year, Israel passed the Golan Heights Law,placing the Golan Heights under civilian Israeli law, administration, and jurisdiction. Most non-Jewish residents of the Golan Heights, mainly Druze, refused to surrender Syrian citizenship, though Israeli citizenship was available to them. In 2005 the Golan Heights had a population of approximately 38,900, including approximately 19,300 Druze, 16,500 Jews, and 2,100 Muslims. Jewish villages, including moshavim and kibbutzim, are consolidated municipally under the Golan Regional Council, and are inhabited by Israeli citizens. Unlike Druze in Israel proper, fewer than 30% of the Druze of the Golan Heights are Israeli citizens; the remainder hold Syrian citizenship....

PRE horse Uraneo&Raz from Israel www.prehorse.info www.kilimanjaroranch.com Hi All this is a great Video to watch because I'm proud of Raz from Aliad (Golan Heights Israel). Raz came over to my Ranch in the USA and wanted to learn different riding (dressage). He worked pretty hard for 2 months. a special when he use to ride Western riding The video shows it all, and especially the transition between a piaffe to a passage are very good and not using spurs I know Uraneo is fully trained, but it takes time to learn how to give him the command and using the legs, body and hands. It will be nice for all of you to drop a nice comment on how he is riding now. Enjoy the video. I know I did. Tags: alta, andalusian, dressage, escuela, exhibition, Horse, Pre, stallion |

Water crisis looms in occupied Golan Heights - 13 Jul 08 Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian President, has asked for help from his French counterpartsin any possible direct talks with Israel. Technically, the two countries remain at war since Israel occupied the Golan Heights in 1967. The Golan is a valuable fresh water resource, but it's under environmental threat, and as David Chater reports, that may put any political settlement under threat.

Secular Syria and Syrian Golan Heights This is an excerpt about Syria. It's an insightful excerpt about the moderate muslim thinking in the secular state Syria. Syria fought terrorism 24 years ago, before Bush or anybody else, so please don't get smart on Syria now and accuse her of something she fought before you're even born. At the end it shows the brutality of Israel by destroying a Syrian city Quneitra and occupying the Syrian Golan Heights. Syria wants peace but just give her land back, the Golan.
